A heart can be patched up but the heart is never really healed.
A broken flame could be glued together but it won't change the fact that it broke.
A pill can be broke in half but its still a pill.
A bed can lose its comfort but its still a bed.
A dresser could be missing a drawer but its still a dresser.
A door could be missing a knob but its still a door.
You could be missing a life time partner but you are still you.
Everything could be missing from something but that doesn't change anything.
You may me missing some pieces of your heart but that doesn't make you anybody else.
You are still you.
